Hi - I'm Francine. This is a picture of me in 1999. I spent most of my life looking like this. The day I took this picture I weighed 308 pounds - and I had already lost about 20. If I had come across this website in 1999, I am not sure what I would have thought, but I know I would have suspected that the person presenting it was either a charlatan or the lucky recipient of a miracle; I surely would not have thought, "Gee, maybe I can do this , too." The pictures below are all me, un-retouched, and all recent. I really did lost 186 pounds over the 14 months following the taking of the picture on the left and you really can, too. Please read through my website, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Francine - The Candida Queen P.S. - My loss of over 186 pounds in the 14 months after taking this picture is extreme, and the commitment I made to accomplish it was a little insane; I went at it with an almost religious fervor. I could have stopped when I got to an attractive, healthy weight, but I was driven to get to Beauty: something denied me from a fat childhood through a morbidly obese adulthood. If you want to go there, too, you can -- but it's important that you realize that first most and foremost, what Beauty and the Yeast Beast offers anyone is health. Growing old obese is brutal. Start today to reclaim your health and vitality and protect your future health.

Beauty And The Yeast Beast:
	from Fat To Fairy Tale				If you're unhappy with your weight, your appearance, or the quality of your life, don't wait any longer!
This is no fairy tale. I lost 186 pounds and have kept it off for over 7 years. If you're tired of losing and regaining weight, or if you just can't seem to take and keep control, it's not your fault; it's the Candida Yeast Beast. I can help you! After 40 years of obesity and diet failure syndrome I knew I would soon turn 50 - I had to get healthy or suffer advanced infirmation and an old age plagued with ailments. Thankfully, I discovered I had a Candida yeast infection (infestation). I was able to get the yeast under control, and lost the weight; for the first time ever, I lost ALL the weight, and DID NOT GAIN IT All BACK (not to mention more!) I got healthy. I'm 57 now, and slim for over 7 years. If I could do it after an entire life of out of control Yo-Yo dieting, you can, too! Start today to improve your future health. Get Beauty now.

As a licensed obesity counselor and author of Beauty, I have talked by phone and E-mail to a few hundred women (and men) over the last year since the release of Beauty and the Yeast Beast, and they all tell me the same things:

"Your story sounds just like me...  I don't know what happened- I just sort of blew up..."  "I have tried everything, but even if I lose weight it comes right back when I go off the diet..." "I have so many of the symptoms on your list - I never knew they could all be caused by yeast..." "I feel good for the first time in years. I'm losing the weight and my other symptoms are beginning to clear."  "Thank you! Your story inspired me and your program is working for me. I haven't felt this good in years!"

WHY POPEYE ATE CANNED SPINACH

According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fresh produce was the most significant source of foodborne illness in 2005. Learn More

6.20.08 Urgent Update for Beauty readers:
As my readers and obesity counseling clients change their eating habits in an effort to get their Candida yeast infestations, their overweight or obesity, and their other Candida infection symptoms under control, I see many of them moving towards a healthy consumption of more fruits and vegetables. My experience with molds, yeasts, and bacteria personally, in the field and in my laboratory prompts me to bring your attention to information about these healthful foods which frequently harbor Bacteria or Fungus. According to ASM's (American Society of Microbiology) Microbe magazine (June, 2008), "Foodborne outbreaks attributable to leafy greens such as lettuce, cabbage, and spinach increased substantially during the past 35 years, and continue to cause public health problems throughout the United States." They go on to site particular regarding consumption of leafy greens over time and the percentages of foodborne illnesses such as E. coli and Salmonella, and explain the problems creating the opportunity for microorganisms to grow; more details are available in the article on line from ASM. All fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains are habitat to Bacteria or Fungus: one or the other will dominate the territory of the various foods we eat. The main difference between Bacteria and Fungus is the time factor to resulting death after exposure and contraction. Bacteria is fast; untreated it can lead to death, in days, weeks, months; Fungi is insidious and slow compared to bacteria and a wide range of its symptoms is normally not attributed to it thereby allowing it to grow unchecked for years. Fungi is a contributing factor to morbidity, often named as a secondary cause of death (COD); however, Fungal infections take a long time to kill you. My personal experience with the Fungus Candida had a dramatic effect on my life and the condition caused by Candida; Morbid Obesity was cured by a dietary change. Unfortunately, E. coli, Salmonella and General bacteria, which multiply at a much faster rate than Fungi, are a greater and more immediate health threat. The food we eat is going to have Bacteria or Fungus, and it is important to know what health threat each type of food has, and how to reduce that threat. The entire article, E. coli and Coliforms: Fecal Bacteria in Our Food, is posted on my website NaturopathicCounselor.com, and the links below will take you to two FDA sites with related reference guides.
	If you are trying to lose weight by my program or any other healthy weight loss program, you will be consuming more natural foods, more produce, perhaps organic (which carries higher risk of all pathogens); it is imperative that you keep safe by preparing fresh foods properly.

Why My Lab Doesn't Make a Probiotic
	You can get a good probiotic in many places; you want to be sure you get high count, multiple species, live culture. Further down the page I have a link for Native Remedies, and they sell a good probiotic; so does Nutrition Geeks. The thing about probiotics is, you need to take a lot of them, and you need to take them with a lot of water as directed. Most people just don't do either sufficiently for the probiotics to work. Eating plain, unflavored health food store quality yogurt or kefyr (plain yogurt does not have the sugar and other additives that flavored do) will at least deliver the probiotics in a hydrated form, giving them a chance; you can increase the odds by eating the yogurt or kefyr with leafy green vegetables and juice: both add more water and nutrients to help the bacteria flourish. (If you're at a no sugar stage in your diet use water instead of juice.) To buy capsulated probiotics is simply a waste of money unless you are going to commit to regularly consuming large quantities of water and leafy green veggies. It's also helpful to ingest prebiotics - onion, leek, and soggy greens, like spinach) to feed the probiotics and help them flourish.

Phasing Into Beauty

Francine, The Candida Queen says, "I was a diet champion over and over for 40 years and have been on many diets, all of which let me down in the long run - as I'm sure you've felt let down by one or two of your diets. Phasing Into Beauty explains why diets fail and why many people cannot face the Beauty and the Yeast Beast diet, and provides a three phase program which will work with any diet."

The effective use of Prebiotics makes fertile ground for the probiotic to establish itself, so the effectiveness of the probiotic treatment works in a timely fashion as to deliver greater benefit to the body fighting Candida at the same time. Sugar Starch and Flour reduction effectively functions as a Preantifungal, starting the weight loss process when combined with the Candida Queen's Prebiotic/Antifungal Balancing.

	There always seems to be one or two pups in the litter that just can't get enough - the little piglet puppies. They want the most, and they want the best. Amongst microorganisms in the body, Candida Yeast Beast is the piggiest of the litter. Candida Yeast's only function is to grow more Candida yeast. You can do a lot when you only have one objective, and you hide well. The Candida Yeast infection makes a tremendous craving for what it needs - flour and sugar - and at the same time make you fatter, creating more territory for suburbs. The rotten little beast wants you fatter!

	STRETCHERCISE
The best no-exercise exercise is Stretchercise. All throughout the day, make it a point to stop and stretch - both upper and lower body - for several minutes at a time. Pick one, then two or three times a day when you can make this a Stretchercise time, and just stretch for 5, then 10, up to 20 minutes each time daily. Do one ten and two 5's -- do what ever you can, but stretch. Holding a stretched position for a count of 20 is also excellent; do make sure you're just a hair shy of how far you can stretch -- you want the hold, as per yoga wisdom, at the upper limit of ease.

A slow, sly, insidious parasite, Candida has previously enjoyed anonymity from the medical profession's focus but is now increasingly getting the attention it deserves as a causative agent of systemic infection leading to many serious medical conditions. I feel we need to have a National Candida Awareness Month to bring this to the attention of those who are inflicted and those who care about them.
